2017 Map of Kantishna River D-1 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

The Tanana River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a wide path through the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the northwestern corner, the Baker area sits at the base of significant elevation gains, overseen by the prominent Giroux Bluff overlooking the river's bend. This 2017 survey shows a complex riparian environment where the Baker Cr and Zitiana River converge with the main waterway, creating a network of shifting bars and islands. Notable landforms within the river channel include Jennie M Island and Junction Island, which mark the dynamic nature of the fluvial system. Further east, the drainage of Dugan Cr cuts through the northern hills, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this subarctic wilderness. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of high bluffs and low-lying wetlands that characterize this reach of the Tanana.
